Bob,
<p>We ugraded, we saw, we reported.&nbsp;&nbsp; This bug is alive inside
the IDL demo as well.
<br>Fire up the demo, click on "Earth Sciences", click on "Mapping".&nbsp;
Look familiar?
<br>We grabbed a 5.3 beta version and the bug was still there.

<blockquote TYPE=CITE>Hi all,
<p>I've noticed a potential bug in IDL 5.2.1 when you try to overplot filled
<br>contours atop a map.&nbsp; Basically, what happens is that you get
a
<br>small square of color that covers a tiny square centered on Lat=0,
<br>Lon=0, instead of covering the entire map area.
<p>See below for a test program I've devised to illustrate the error. The
<br>first plot (with regular color contours) comes out fine.&nbsp; When
you use the
<br>/FILL keyword then you run into this bug.&nbsp; (I tried /CELL_FILL
too, but
<br>that didn't make any difference).
<p>Per Martin Schultz's suggestion, I tried resetting the Y-axis indices
so
<br>that the poles were -89.9 and +89.9 (instead of -90 and +90), but on
my
<br>system (SGI-IRIX), that didn't help at all.
<p>Any suggestions?
<p>Thanks much,
